- Q. How are the emails I send to other members anonymous?
-
A.
Match.com - International preserves your privacy by directing your emails through our double-blind system — our exclusive technology that strips your real email address and replaces it with your username and the talkmatch domain (username@talkMatch.com - International). Then the system forwards your messages to the members you’re emailing.
Sending anonymous email.
One way to contact members is by clicking the "email me" link in their profiles. The other way is to address your email to username@talkMatch.com - International, inserting the intended recipient’s username. Note: You only can send anonymous email from the address you gave us when you signed up.
Replying to email from other members.
DO NOT SIMPLY PRESS YOUR REPLY BUTTON. Doing so may reveal your real email address. Before you send your reply, ensure you’ve turned off your auto-signatures and auto-responders. Read through your responses to ensure your actual email address does not appear. Make certain not to copy (cc:) or forward email to yourself when you send a message from your own email program.

- Q. How can I set up a Web-based email account?
-
A.
If you need to establish an email account, there are several Web-based services that provide email service free of charge. By establishing a free Web-based email account and using it to sign up with Match.com - International, you can:
- Send all of your Match.com - International email to your Web-based email inbox rather than mixing it up with your work or other personal correspondences.
- Send and receive messages from any internet-connected computer.
- Stay in touch with your matches even when you're out of town.

- Q. Why can’t my password be the same as my email address?
-
A.
Your password is a unique word or phrase that you select. Unlike your email address, your password should not correspond in any way to your identity outside the Match.com - International community - ensuring that your anonymity is protected until you decide to reveal it.
